The Collateral Effects of 2020: “Baby, Don’t Wait”:
Los Angeles, Nov 13: The new single “Baby Don’t Wait” by Brazilian hip-hop artist in Los Angeles, Gio Castilhos, set to release December 11, 2020, brings the 2020’s social issues from a unique perspective to contextualize the most impactful year in the history of humanity.
“Baby Don’t Wait” is an international collaboration by Gio Castilhos with the Brazilian singer, composer, and music producer, Julio Serrano, who released several of his own hits, including “Alem da Nova Ordem” in the soap opera “Balacobaco” by RecordTV. The song “Baby Don’t Wait” portrays the current issues of social unrest related to lockdowns and racial discrimination in recent turbulent times. The song ponders on themes like the “BLM – Black Live Matter” movement, making reference to the civil rights movement generation of Malcolm X and other activists of his generation. “The World Will Never Be The Same. Neither Will Be The Music”, explains Gio, averse to any religious or political affiliation, but “truthful to the equality principles any good-hearted artist would embrace. Gratitude is the answer to most of our questions”, he comments. A true statement of determination and courage to face daily challenges while soothing the ears of west coast beat lovers. A song for who appreciates rich guitar lines and strong keys to unique sound intention as it appeals to fans of artists such as Eminem, Nate Dogg, and Sublime seeking the mix of meaningful lyrics, wrapped in powerful beats. The project also had the participation of Edu Corso, Rogerio Salles, and Renato Xexeu, artwork by Murilo Cardoso, and photography by Ruth de Souza.
